Love Blooms at Pokémon Go Fest in Madrid

Pokémon Go Fest Madrid: A resounding success, not just for player turnout, but for love!

The recent Pokémon Go Fest in Madrid, Spain, drew a massive crowd of dedicated players. While the game may not hold the same global dominance as in its early days, its loyal fanbase remains strong. This event showcased that dedication, but also something even more special: love.

Five couples, amidst the excitement of catching rare Pokémon and connecting with fellow players, chose Pokémon Go Fest Madrid as the perfect backdrop to propose. And the best part? All five received a resounding "Yes!"

One couple, Martina and Shaun, shared their story. After eight years together, six of them long-distance, they finally settled in the same city. Pokémon Go Fest Madrid became the ideal setting to celebrate their new life together, with Martina proposing to Shaun.

The event itself was a huge success, attracting over 190,000 attendees. While not on par with major sporting events, it’s still a significant number. Niantic's special proposal package suggests many more proposals likely occurred, but remained unpublicized.

The event highlights the enduring power of Pokémon Go, not just as a game, but as a catalyst for connection and lasting relationships. For some couples, their shared love of the game is a testament to their bond.
